Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} ~~{{quote box\|~~[[File:HushHushCover_1587.jpg\|frame]]}} ''[[Hush, Hush]]'' is a [[Paranormal Romance]] by Becca Fitzpatrick. It tells the story of Nora Grey, [[Ordinary High School Student\|a perfectly normal high schooler]] who [[Brainy Brunette\|dreams of getting a scholarship to Harvard or Yale]] and is not interested in dating. All this is forgotten when [[All Girls Want Bad Boys\|Patch]] enters the picture. As is to be expected, they end up in a relationship together. This is accompanied by various frightening events happening to Nora, including a person in a ski mask attacking her several times, someone peeking in her bedroom window, and someone ransacking her bedroom, and it looks like it's the work of Patch. Or is it? The series currently consists of three books (''Hush, Hush'', ''Crescendo'' and ''Silence'') with a fourth book scheduled for release sometime 2012. There is also a graphic novel in the works. {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes present in the work: ===~~ * [[Archnemesis Dad]]: {{spoiler\|Hank Millar}}. * [[Aerith and Bob]]: Angel names range from Patch{{spoiler\|/Jev}} to Rixon to {{spoiler\|Dabria}}. Line 21: * [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: {{spoiler\|Dabria.}} Nora gets her turn in ''Crescendo''. * [[Contrived Coincidence]]: The entire sequence of events that gets Patch and Nora stuck in the motel room together, with no means of communication or way to get home. * [[Cursed ~~With~~with Awesome]]: Being a fallen angel means that you don't feel pain, are insanely strong, and can mind control others. All fallen angels still hate what they are. * [[Dating What Daddy Hates\|Dating What Mommy Hates]]: Nora is well aware that her mother doesn't like or trust Patch. * [[Disappeared Dad]]: Nora's father was murdered shortly before the first book begins. * [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]]: {{spoiler\|Nora has no less than three different parties who want her dead in the first book alone, and at least two others in the sequel. While she does avert being a [[Neutral Female]], she still relies on Patch more or less for all her rescuing.}} * [[Does Not Like Men]]: Vee in ''Silence'', {{spoiler\|due to what happened to Nora}}. * [[Double Standard]]: It's perfectly fine for Vee to gold dig by dating Jules, Patch to use a G-rated seduction on his {{spoiler\|ex-girlfriend}} to get what he wants, and for Nora to all but have sex with Patch in a public restroom. Everyone decries Marcie Millar as a shallow, materialistic harlot though. Line 33: * [[Happily Married]]: Nora's parents were this, before her father died. * [[Informed Ability]]: For all we hear about how intelligent Nora is, she proves herself to be pretty dumb sometimes. * [[~~Its~~"It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"\|It's Not Sexual Assault If You Enjoyed It]]: Happens to Nora with Patch. * [[It Was Here, I Swear]]: "You are not safe." * [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]: The first and second books become this. * [[Kill It ~~With~~with Fire]]: Attempted by {{spoiler\|Dabria}}. * [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler\|Nora, in ''Silence''. Also Vee to a lesser extent.}} * [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler\|Hank Millar is the father of both Marcie and Nora. He's also a nephilim.}} * [[Mind Control]]: ** {{spoiler\|Jules}} Line 44: * [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler\|Patch}} employs this on Chauncy, as well as Nora. {{spoiler\|Jules}} also performs it on Nora. * [[Moral Myopia]]: When Patch stalks Nora {{spoiler\|with the intent to murder her,}} it's excusable, but when Dabria {{spoiler\|attempts to murder her, it's an offense bad enough to tear her wings off.}} * [[Near -Rape Experience]]: Nora is physically threatened several times by {{spoiler\|Patch}} and {{spoiler\|Elliot}} in ways that read really similar to attempted rape. * [[One Head Taller]]: Patch is six inches taller than Nora. * [[Parent ~~With~~with New Paramour]]: Nora's mom {{spoiler\|with Hank Millar}}. * [[Protagonist -Centered Morality]]: Patch walks around threatening, mindraping and torturing nephilim, but seeing as he’s doing it for Nora, it’s okay. It's treated as evil when someone else does it. Nora does a good few cruel things to Marcie for revenge purposes (for example, {{spoiler\|breaking into her bedroom and stealing her diary and anything Patch gave her}}), but all of them are excused as being justified. The few [[Kick the Dog]] moments Marcie gets are treated like she horrifically tortured Nora. Line 55: * [[She's Got Legs]]: Nora is described as having "bar stool legs". * [[Smug Snake]]: Patch, occasionally. * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: Patch. * [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: Nora and Patch. * [[Too Dumb to Live]]: ** Vee fits this trope as she {{spoiler\|goes to break into the school with Jules and Elliot, despite the fact that Elliot physically threatened Nora earlier in the novel.}} Line 64: [[Category:Fantasy Literature]] [[Category:Young Adult Literature]] [[Category:Hush, Hush]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
